This is a nice stop for exploring the redwood forests of Henry Cowell and other State Parks nearby. It’s nestled in the redwoods in small mountain towns. It’s not walkable to other places. The lodge rooms are large and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean.

Run down dirty dump! Pay the extra money to stay in Santa Cruz or surrounding areas.

This is definitely a quaint option but so cute for the area and rooms were very clean. Front desk staff were very kind and helpful. Walls were thin and could hear neighbors walking around very easily but to be expected in an old building. Would stay here again.

Wonderful quiet historic setting. Short drive to some unique restaurants. Reasonably priced. Nice patio or balcony. $50 a day extra for a small quiet dog is a bit steep but still a fair price. Close to Santa Cruz and San Jose by car in the Redwood forest...heavenly!

Cool little hidden gem. Rooms weren't anything to write home about but it's a beautiful area, room had a balcony, there was live music being performed in the little bar on property there was also a diner. Only complaint was the treacherous windy road I had to drive to get there lol

I booked this lodge to be off the beaten path and quiet and it was cool. There is a store and bar on property (bar on weekends only). The room was clean and comfortable. It had a little balcony that was nice to sit and relax on. The hotel was only a 15 minute drive into Santa Cruz. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Of course the history of this place is fascinating and it's just a wonderful Retreat surrounded by ancient redwood forest babbling Brooks and rivers and just quiet beautiful Serene setting. The rooms were clean neat and very comfortable and enjoyed the patio balcony and the ability to have the fresh air coming into the room
